Як розрахувати Vitamin D
Що таке Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is synthesised in skin on exposure to UVB radiation (sunlight wavelength 280–315 nm). In the UK, sufficient UVB is only available from April to September (10am–3pm). During winter months (October–March), the sun is too low in the sky to provide adequate UVB at UK latitudes, so supplementation is recommended for most people.
